ORIGINAL POSTER

Wet passport. I went to immigration 2 weeks ago to apply for my new marrage visa.  I am currently on a temporary visa until the 11th of June.  Last night my passport got wet in the rain. The front and back have curled. There is ink bleeding thorough som pages from old stamps. However my picture page looks to be okay. Will I have a problem when I go back on the 11th to get my full visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about the condition of their passport, which got wet and damaged just before a scheduled visit to Thai immigration for a marriage visa. They are currently on a temporary visa and have been advised to contact the US Embassy for an emergency passport and to consult immigration about the acceptability of their damaged passport.

Okay BEFORE you get a new passport via your embassy GO to the immigration office where your under consideration stamp was issued and ASK them it it's okay or not. AND if it's not, ask them what you do while you wait for a new passport

Ziplock bag, or Songkran phone bag. I never take mine out of these.

I would contact the US Embassy in Bangkok or Consulate in Chiang Mai to obtain an emergency passport and apply for a new passport too. You could try to take the damaged one to Thai Immigration and ask...doubtful they will stamp your visa extension in this one...but get a new one ASAP.
